    30mm body myths?

    I keep hearing the myth repeated that 30mm scope bodies do not provide more light transmission but only allow for greater adjustment (all things being equal.) Since there seems to be no absolute consensus on this, lets try some logic. Europeans use 30mm scope bodies. Europeans often...

    My new pet peeve is range at which game is shot.

    Foremost among our selections for a particular hunting rifle is caliber. Caliber debates provoke many contentious, yet worthwhile, discussions. After reading hundreds of threads on dozens of websites I have developed a pet peeve that is really beginning to stick in my craw, which is... Few...

    Kimber 84 in 7mm-08 or ?

    In 7mm-08 or in 260 Remington. I want a light game rifle with acceptable recoil. I've decided on the Kimber 84 (POSSIBLY a Rem. mountain rifle). I hate to buy a gun and then swap. I like to buy only once, so I'm trying to make sure which I want, a 260 or 7mm-08 before I buy one. I can...

    Why do you guys do it???

    I am sincerely confused by it. Like clockwork someone who hates guns will register and post the same day. You all will respond in good faith to the questions because, well probably because you are good guys and treat the new individual with respect and answer with sincerity. Now, these...

    Who thinks quality optics are expensive???

    I wear glasses and I just got back from Lenscrafters. New lenses for old glasses ($340), new lenses for spare glasses = ($215), new sunglasses (lenses and frames) = ($375), and eye exam = ($80) Total cost = $1,010 :what: By contrast, NIB Zeiss VM 1.5x6x42 = $1,200. Or NIB...

    350 Remington Magnum (who needs it?)

    I was intrigued by the latest reincarnation of the Remington 600 rifle, now the 673 chambered in 350 Rem. Magnum. So I rushed to Remington's website to check how the round stacks up against other Magnums, figuring it would fall in nicely between say, .300 Win Mag and .375 H&H. Here is the...

    Sauer 202 .243

    Does anybody have a Sauer 202? Would you recommend it? I went searching for a Win 70 in .243 and the sales clerk showed me a Sauer 202 in .243 instead. $899. Anyway, gun seems built like a tank, very smooth and velvety looking and feeling and the bolt is the smoothest action I've ever...

    Food for thought about Over-penetration.

    I am convinced that the most critical factor to stopping an assailant (after shot placement) is sufficient penetration. Yet a majority of those posting on all firearms sites I frequent express huge concerns about the liability and danger from over-penetation. Hence, my question... How...

    Sex, Guns and Motorcycles.

    I rarely suffer from stress and I don't get fuming mad too often. But every once in a while something will happen to really SET ME OFF. I used to carry this stress, rage or hatred with me all day and it was not until I got a good night's sleep I could start again with a calm attitude and a...
